Please let me know the correct way to solve. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you interchange y and x that will give you the inverse function
My math book says that two functions, f(x) and g(x) are inverses of
eachother if they are reflections of eachother about the line y = x,
so graphing your solution is a way to check its correctness. --- y = f(x)
interchange y and x
get y alone on the left by subtracting 1/3 from both sides --- y = f(-1)(x)
I'll graph these and the line y = x
f(x) and f(-1)x look like reflections about y = x
